You are confusing de jure power with de facto power. Government has shown, again and again, that they will abuse and overstep without any legal right to do so. In the meantime until the courts catch up, that coercive power imbalance still exists.

I literally just said this isn’t what the person I replied to was talking about. I’m mistaking nothing.
